Hi all
I’m using ARM9_STR91X_IAR project , and I can execute it from FLASH successfully .
Now I want to copy the image from flash to ram and execute it from ram .
I have IAP bootloader to do copy work then jump to ram .
There is a link file : lnkarm_flash.xcl
I don’t know how to modify it to support execute from ram .
Thanks.

This is an IAR file. Take a look in your IAR installation directory for a RAM equivalent.

I refer some example file lnkarm_ram.xcl in the IAR installation directory . And I modify the FreeRTOS’s lnkarm_flash.xcl of the following :
// Code memory in flash
//-DROMSTART=0x00000000 Marked by Paul 96.4.25
//-DROMEND=0x00080000 Marked by Paul 96.4.25
//-DROMSTART=0x00080000
//-DROMEND=0x003FFFFF
//-DVECSTART=ROMSTART Marked by Paul 96.4.25
// Data memory
-DRAMSTART=0x4000000
-DRAMEND=0x04018000
-DROMSTART=RAMSTART
-DROMEND=RAMEND
…
But when I make my workspace , it will generate some errors during linking :

You are now putting your executable code and data both in RAM and there is not enough space.

My Board only have 96 KBytes SRAM . So if I want put executable code and data both in RAM , it must need more then 96 KBytes of SRAM ?
